Kinda mystified that 200lb on the hoof deer are so uncommon state wide.
Three things to get size deer:
1. Age 2. Food 3. Genetics
Also, too many people shoot the "it's a good 8 point, had to shoot it or my neighbor would have!" bucks. If that makes them happy, fine. So be it.
But you can't get 4-, 5- and 6-year-old bucks - if that's what you want - by shooting the 2.5-year-old spindly 8-point.
Same genetics we've had for 50+ years, I'd think with all this new fangled QDM , high octane food plots, feeding programs and such they wouldn't be so hard to find.
